Contractions/cramps/or constipation??

Question

Okay so I just got woken up by pain. I'm 35 weeks. I'm having a hard time differentiating the pain right now. I have always had a hard time going #2. The muscles in my intestines don't push things through. But I've never woken up in pain because of that. It almost feels like contractions... But it also is a cramping feeling. And at the same time it feels like I have to go #2 but when I try, I can't... The feeling of the pain is in my lower abdomen and pelvic region. It's not all over or anything and it feels like there is pressure down on the backside as well hence the feeling like I need to go #2..
Has anyone experienced anything like this?? It hurts pretty bad.. 1-10 (1 being light pain 10 being worse) I would say it's a level 6.. Maybe 7.

Answer

I don't think I'd mess around with that type of pain. The symptoms you were describing sound like back labor. If they keep up I'd call your doctor or go to the ER to get checked. Better safe than sorry. Nobody wants to have their baby at home or in the car. Try walking around and drinking water then lay down on your side. If the pains don't go away go get checked.

Was just reading your post, it's 6:20am where I am. How are you feeling now? Is the pain constant?

Answer

I think it's gas thus happened to me twice in the last week, 35 weeks as well
